ADMISSION  TO  GRADUATE  SCHOOL 


Persons  who  have  obtained  a baccalaureate  degree  from 
a college  of  good  standing,  and  desire  to  follow  advanced 
courses  in  scientific,  literary,  or  historical  subjects,  or  to,  take 
advantage  of  the  opportunities  for  individual  investigations 
here  afforded,  may  be  admtted  to  the  Graduate  School. 
Women  are  admitted,  with  the  consent  of  the  professors 
under  whom  they  wish  to  work,  on  the  same  terms  as  men. 
Advanced  students  are  received  whether  they  are  candidates 
for  a degree  or  not,  and  they  are  permitted  to  attend  such 
lectures  and  exercises  as  they  may  select.  On  entering  the 
university  they  are  expected  to  present  their  diplomas  and 
certificates  from  the  institutions  with  which  they  have  been 
connected,  and  also  letters  of  introduction.  They  are  not 
examined  by  the  university  for  admission,  but  each  instructor 
satisfies  himself  of  the  attainments  of  those  who  wish  to 
enter  his  classes. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  DEGREES 


THE  DEGREE  OF  MASTER  OF  ARTS 

The  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  is  offered  to  students  who 
have  obtained  the  baccalaureate  degree  from  a college  of 
good  standing,  have  then  followed  courses  of  university  study 
under  proper  guidance  for  at  least  two  years,  and  have 
satisfied  the  requirements  mentioned  below.* 

*It  is  understood  that  the  University  work  for  one  of  these 
years  may  be  distributed  through  two  or  more  years,  in  cases 
where  the  student  can  devote  only  a part  of  his  time  to  study.

Requirements  for  Degrees 


The  Board  of  University  Studies  reserves  the  right  to 
decide  in  each  case  whether  the  preliminary  training  has 
been  satisfactory,  and,  if  any  of  the  years  of  graduate  work 
have  been  passed  by  the  candidate  away  from  this  University, 
whether  they  may  be  considered  as  spent  in  accordance  with 
these  regulations. 

At  least  one  academic  year  must  be  passed  in  this  Uni- 
versity, and  in  every  case  this  must  be  the  one  immediately 
preceding  the  final  examinations,  unless  special  permission 
to  the  contrary  is  granted  by  the  Board  of  University  Studies 
for  some  extraordinary  reason. 

The  candidate  for  the  degree  must  make  formal  appli- 
cation to  the  Board  of  University  Studies  at  least  one  aca- 
demic year  before  he  expects  to  present  himself  for  his  final 
examinations.  In  this  application  he  must  state  the  subject 
which  it  is  his  intention  to  pursue  as  his  principal  study, 
and  in  his  choice  of  additional  subjects  he  must  be  guided 
by  the  advice  of  the  professor  in  charge  of  his  principal 
work. 

In  order  to  obtain  the  degree  the  candidate  must  satisfy 
two  requirements: 

1.  He  must  prepare  an  essay  upon  a subject  approved 
by  the  Board  of  University  Studies.  This  must  be  com- 
pleted and  submitted  to  the  Board  at  least  four  weeks  before 
the  time  of  the  final  examinations.  Two  referees  will  then 
be  designated  who  shall  present  to  the  Board  a written  report. 
This  essay  shall  be  prepared  for  presentation  to  the  Board 
in  the  manner  prescribed  for  the  dissertations  submitted 
for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy. 

2.  If  the  report  on  the  essay  is  satisfactory,  the  candidate 
will  then  be  admitted  for  the  final  written  examinations. 

The  candidate  is,  however,  permitted  to  take  at  the  end 


Degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 


7 


of  any  academic  year  examinations  on  the  subjects  followed 
during  that  year,  or  at  the  beginning  of  the  next  year. 
In  case  these  are  passed  in  a satisfactory  manner,  he  will 
not  be  examined  further  in  these  subjects. 

The  names  of  candidates  found  worthy  of  the  degree 
will  be  submitted  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  with  their 
approbation  the  degree  will  be  publicly  conferred. 

THE  DEGREE  OF  DOCTOR  OF  PHILOSOPHY 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  is  offered  to  students 
who,  after  obtaining  the  baccalaureate  degree  from  a college 
of  good  standing,  have  followed  courses  of  university  study 
under  proper  guidance  and  without  serious  distractions  for 
at  least  three  years,  and  have  satisfied  the  requirements 
mentioned  below. 

The  Board  of  University  Studies  reserves  the  right  to 
decide  in  each  case  whether  the  preliminary  training  has 
been  satisfactory,  and  which,  if  any,  years  of  graduate  work 
not  spent  in  this  university  are  to  be  considered  as  spent  in 
accordance  with  these  regulations. 

At  least  one  academic  year  must  be  passed  in  this  Uni- 
versity, and,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  the  one  immedi- 
ately preceding  the  final  examinations. 

PRINCIPAL  AND  SUBORDINATE  SUBJECTS 

To  become  a candidate  for  the  degree  the  student  must 
select  a subject  on  which  he  intends  to  concentrate  his  efforts 
and  must  place  himself  under  the  guidance  of  the  professor 
in  this  subject.  This  is  called  his  “ principal  99  study.  With 
the  advice  of  the  professor  and  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
Board  of  University  Studies,  the  student  must  choose  two 


8 


Degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 


other  studies,  known  as  “ subordinate  ” subjects,  which  he 
must  follow.  These  are  called  the  “ first  subordinate  ” and 
the  “ second  subordinate,”  and  the  two  should  represent  one 
year’s  work,  two-thirds  of  this  being  devoted  to  the  former. 

ACCEPTANCE  OF  THE  CANDIDATE 

A student  who  wishes  to  be  considered  a candidate  for 
the  degree  must  make  written  application  to  the  Board  of 
University  Studies,  upon  a form  provided  for  this  purpose 
at  least  one  academic  year  before  he  expects  to  present  himself 
for  his  final  examinations.*  Before  this  application  can  be 
accepted,  he  must  satisfy  the  University  examiners  that  he 
is  able  to  translate  at  sight  French  and  German  journals 
and  monographs  relating  to  his  principal  subject. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  THE  DEGREE 

Certain  examinations,  as  outlined  below,  must  be  passed 
by  the  candidate,  in  order  to  obtain  the  degree;  but  the 
distinctive  requirement  is  the  presentation  of  evidence  that 
the  candidate  has  carried  to  successful  completion  an  original 
investigation  in  his  principal  subject  upon  a theme  approved 
by  his  chief  professor.  The  results  of  this  investigation 
must  be  embodied  in  a dissertation,  and  submitted  to  the 
Board  of  University  Studies. 

REGULATIONS  CONCERNING  THE  DISSERTATION 

a.  The  dissertation  must  be  prepared  for  presentation 
to  the  Board  of  University  Studies  in  accordance  with 

*A  student  who  has  been  admitted  as  a candidate  for  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  will  be  considered  to  have  satisfied 
the  requirements  for  admission  to  courses  leading  to  the  degree  of 
Master  of  Arts.

instructions  to  be  obtained  from  the  Registrar,  and  to  every 
such  dissertation  must  be  appended  a brief  biographical  sketch 
of  the  author.  It  must  be  submitted  to  the  Board  at  least 
four  weeks  before  the  examinations  in  the  principal  subject. 

b.  The  Board  shall  designate  two  or  more  referees,  who 
shall  make  a written  report  on  the  dissertation. 

REGULATIONS  CONCERNING  THE  EXAMINATIONS  f 

a.  The  candidate  shall  be  subjected  to  written  exami- 
nations in  his  principal  subject,  and,  whenever  practicable, 
in  both  his  subordinate  subjects.  The  results  of  the  exami- 
nations shall  be  reported  in  writing  to  the  Board  of  University 
Studies;  and,  if  these  reports  and  the  report  on  the  disser- 
tation are  satisfactory,  the  candidate  shall  be  admitted  to 
an  oral  examination  in  his  principal  and  first  subordinate 
subjects  before  the  Board,  or  a section  of  it. 

b.  The  written  examinations  in  the  subordinate  subjects 
may  be  taken  at  any  time  during  the  candidate’s  residence 
at  the  University,  subject  to  the  judgment  of  the  examiners. 

c.  In  the  written  examinations  no  session  shall  exceed 
five  hours.  In  the  oral  examinations  before  the  Board,  the 
time  allotted  shall  be  one  hour;  and  three  quarters  of  this 
shall  be  devoted  to  the  principal  subject. 

OTHER  REGULATIONS 

Before  the  candidate  is  admitted  to  the  oral  examination 
he  must  signify  his  intention,  in  the  event  of  his  receiving 

flf  a student  who  has  absolved  the  examinations  required  for 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  in  this  University,  becomes  a candidate 
for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  he  may,  at  the  discretion 
of  the  professors,  be  excused  from  any  further  written  examinations 
in  the  particular  courses  in  which  he  has  already  passed.

Degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 


the  degree,  to  print  his  dissertation  in  full  or  in  part,  and 
to  satisfy  the  requirements  specified  below. 

If  the  dissertation  is  not  printed  in  full,  an  abstract  must 
be  prepared  or  a portion  selected  with  the  approval  of  the 
professor,  which  shall  contain  when  printed  not  less  than 
twenty-four  octavo  pages. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  printed  copies  of  the  dissertation 
must  be  presented  to  the  University  within  one  year  of  the 
time  when  the  degree  is  conferred.  These  must  have  the  pre- 
scribed title  page  and  must  contain  the  biographical  sketch. 

The  candidate  is  advised  to  have  these  printed  copies  ready  for 
presentation  before  the  date  for  the  conferring  of  the  degree; 
otherwise  a deposit  of  $50.00  with  the  Treasurer  of  the  Univer- 
sity must  be  made.  This  deposit  is  returned  when  the  printed 
copies  are  presented  to  the  University.  If  these  have  not  been 
received  within  the  year  specified,  the  Board  of  University  Studies 
may  declare  the  deposit  forfeited  and  may  apply  the  amount  in 
printing  the  dissertation  or  a part  of  it. 

CONFERRING  OF  THE  DEGREE 

The  names  of  the  candidates  found  worthy  of  the  degree 
will  be  submitted  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  with  their 
approbation  the  degree  will  be  publicly  conferred. 


PHILOSOPHY 


I.  General  Plan  of  Work 

Students  having  philosophy  for  their  principal  subject  may 
either  carry  on  most  of  their  work  within  the  traditional 
group  of  philosophical  disciplines  or  form  new  groupings  of 
studies  traversing  the  usual,  departmental  lines.  It  is  con- 
sidered important  by  this  department  that  prospective  teachers 
of  philosophy  should,  in  any  case,  have  a broad  general 
traning  either  in  the  humanities  or  in  the  natural  or  social 
sciences,  and  should  be  able  definitely  and  fruitfully  to 
correlate  their  philosophical  studies  and  teaching  with  at 
least  one  other  province  of  inquiry.  Candidates  for  degrees 
in  philosophy  are  therefore  advised  to  decide  early  in  their 
residence  in  which  of  the  following  groups  they  will  chiefly 
work : 

I.  General  systematic  philosophy. 

II.  Logic  and  scientific  methodology. 

III.  Ethics. 

IV.  The  history  of  philosophical  systems  and  of  philo- 

sophical ideas  in  literature  and  in  the  sciences. 

Candidates  who  elect  I will  have  most  of  their  work  for 
their  principal  subject  in  philosophy,  while  taking  the  usual 
two  subordinates  in  other  subjects.  Those  specializing  in  II, 
III,  or  IV  may  be  required  to  pursue  studies  in  the  other 
philosophical  subjects,  but  may  also  take  an  equal  amount 
of  suitably  correlated  work  in  other  departments,  which  will 

11 


12 


Philosophy 


be  credited  towards  the  requirements  in  the  principal  subject. 
Those  who  elect  II,  for  example,  should  take  courses  in  psy- 
chology, in  mathematics,  and  in  at  least  one  of  the  experimen- 
tal physical  sciences  and  in  its  history.  Those  who  specialize 
in  III  should  do  some  work  in  political  science  and  econo- 
mics; and  those  who  specialize  in  IV  should  carry  on  some 
studies  in  the  history  of  literature  and  the  history  of 
scientific  hypotheses.  Some  courses  cognate  to  these  groups, 
to  be  given  in  other  departments  in  1911-1912,  are  indicated 
below;  others  may  be  found  by  consulting  the  Register  of 
the  University. 


II.  Courses 

A.  The  following  courses  in  philosophy  are  announced  for 
the  year  1911-1912: 

1.  Seminary:  Individual  Work. 

Part  of  the  time  of  every  student  admitted  to  candidature 
for  a higher  degree  in  philosophy  should  each  year  be  devoted 
to  individual  work  upon  authors  or  topics  determined  after 
consultation  with  the  Director  of  the  Seminary,  with  special 
reference  to  the  student’s  interests,  capacity,  and  previous 
training.  This  work  will  consist  of  systematic  reading, 
methodical  analysis  of  problems,  the  presentation  of  a con- 
nected series  of  fortnightly  or  monthly  papers,  and  frequent 
conferences  with  the  professor  charged  with  the  oversight  of 
the  student’s  work.  The  final  paper  in  the  course  will,  if  of 
a suitable  character,  be  read  before  the  Graduate  Conference 
of  the  department.  Such  individual  study  need  not  and 
preferably  should  not  be  confined  to  the  subject  of  the  can- 


Philosophy 


13 


didate’s  dissertation.  Students  having  philosophy  for  a sub- 
ordinate subject  may  be  admitted  to  similar  work  at  the 
discretion  of  the  Director  of  the  Seminary. 

2.  British  Empiricism. 

This  course  traces  the  development  from  Locke  to  Hume, 
showing  the  relation  of  the  theory  of  knowledge  propounded 
in  Locke’s  Essay  to  Berkeley’s  idealism  and  also  to  the 
Treatise  of  Human  Nature. 

One  hour  a week  through  the  year.  Professor  Griffin. 

3.  Continental  Philosophy  since  Kant:  Fichte  and  Schel- 

ling. 

A survey  of  the  development  of  the  Critical  Philosophy 
of  Kant  and  its  reception  is  followed  by  a special  study 
of  the  systems  of  Fichte  and  Schelling.  This  study  is  based 
on  the  Grundlage  der  gesamten  Wissenschaftslehre  and  the 
Grundlage  des  Naturrechts  of  the  former,  and  the  Ideen 
zu  einer  Philosophie  der  Natur  and  the  System  des  transcen- 
dentalen  Idealismus  of  the  latter,  besides  several  minor 
writings  of  both.  The  aim  of  the  work  is  not  only  to  trace 
the  immediate  influence  of  Kant’s  thinking,  but  also  to 
secure  a critical  appreciation  of  the  principles  guiding  the 
construction  of  systems  of  philosophy. 

One  hour  a week  through  the  year.  Professor  Buchner. 

4.  Contemporary  Tendencies  in  Metaphysics  and  Episte- 

mology. 

An  exposition  and  critical  examination  of  current  move- 
ments, with  especial  reference  to  the  diverse  doctrines  going 
under  the  names  of  pragmatism,  humanism  and  instrument- 
alism ; to  the  present  status  of  absolute  idealism ; to  the 
realistic  revival ; and  to  recent  theories  concerning  the 


14  Philosophy 

place  of  the  time-process  in  reality.  Lectures  and  collateral 
reading. 

Two  hours  a week  through  the  year . Professor  Lovejoy. 

5.  British  Ethics  from  Hobbes  to  Price. 

The  psychology,  ethics  and  political  philosophy  of  the 
Leviathan ; the  antagonism  to  Hobbes  represented  on  the  one 
hand  by  Cudworth  and  Clarke,  and  one  the  other  by  Shaftes- 
bury and  Hutcheson;  Butler’s  conception  of  the  nature  and 
office  of  conscience;  the  happiness  of  society  and  the  phe- 
nomena of  sympathy  as  applied  to  ethical  theory  by  Hume 
and  Adam  Smith  respectively ; the  phase  of  rationalistic  ethics 
represented  by  Richard  Price. 

One  hour  a week  through  the  year.  Professor  Griffin. 

6.  The  Ethical  Theory  of  Distribution. 

Examination  of  the  doctrines  of  ethical  theorists  concern- 
ing the  distribution  (in  distinction  from  those  concerning 
the  nature)  of  the  good;  analysis  of  the  conception  of

PSYCHOLOGY 


I.  General  Plan  of  Work 

The  graduate  student  in  psychology,  after  he  has  obtained 
suitable  general  training,  may  specialize  in  human  experi- 
mental psychology,  animal  behavior,  or  psychiatry  (Dr. 
Meyer).  The  first  year  of  graduate  study  is  devoted  almost 
exclusively  to  preparation  for  research — to  the  training 
courses  in  experimental  and  comparative  psychology,  and  to 
the  courses  in  physiology,  neurology  and  experimental  zoology 
connected  with  the  subordinates.  The  student  taking  his 
principal  subject  in  psychology  is  urged,  as  a rule,  to  choose 
his  first  and  second  subordinates  among  experimental  zoology, 
physiology  and  anatomy  (neurology).  Tinder  certain  con- 
ditions, however,  philosophy  and  education  may  be  selected. 
A good  general  training  in  philosophy  is  presupposed;  and 
a part  of  the  time  given  over  to  the  principal  subject  may 
be  devoted  to  courses  in  philosophy  having  a special  psycho- 
logical interest. 

A subject  for  independent  investigation  is  chosen  usually 
at  the  beginning  of  the  second  year.  This  subject  may  lie  in 
any  of  the  three  fields  specified  above.  Advanced  studies  in 
general  psychology  and  in  laboratory  technique  are  pursued 
during  the  second  year  along  with  the  remaining  courses  in 
zoology  and  physiology  necessary  to  complete  the  require- 
ments for  the  first  and  second  subordinates. 

The  third  year  of  the  student’s  work  is  given  over  largely 
to  the  completion  of  the  dissertation;  to  frequent  conferences 

17 


18 


Psychology 


with  the  instructor  in  charge  of  the  dissertation;  and  to  be- 
coming familiarized  with  the  literature  in  the  field  of  experi- 
mental psychology.  An  effort  is  made  to  keep  this  year 
fairly  free  from  formal  work.  A certain  amount  of  work  in 
psychiatry,  however,  is  required  of  all  students  in  their  third 
year  who  are  candidates  for  the  doctorate. 

Those  expecting  to  specialize  in  the  field  of  pathological 
psychology  are  urged  to  pursue  their  medical  studies  along 
with  their  graduate  work  in  psychology.  With  the  joint  con- 
sent of  the  Board  of  University  Studies  and  the  Medical 
Board,  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in 
psychology  desiring  to  take  their  first  and  second  minors  in 
anatomy  (including  both  neurology  and  histology  under 
this  head)  and  physiology  may,  after  having  received  that 
degree,  continue  their  work  in  medicine  and  receive  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Medicine  in  three  years  instead  of  the  usual 
four,  provided  they  have  been  registered  as  medical  students 
during  the  time  devoted  to  the  subordinates  in  anatomy  and 
physiology.  In  other  words,  the  work  done  in  anatomy  and 
physiology  will  absolve  the  requirements  for  both  first  and 
second  minors  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in 
psychology,  and  at  the  same  time  count  as  one  full  year’s 
work  in  medicine.  Johns  Hopkins  students  registered  in 
medicine,  desiring  to  take  the  Ph.  D.  degree  in  psychology 
after  having  taken  the  degree  of  M.  D.,  may  then  register  in 
psychology  and  offer  the  work  already  done  in  anatomy  and 
physiology  as  first  and  second  subordinates. 

II.  Laboratory  Equipment 

The  psychological  laboratory  occupies  a part  of  the  third 
floor  of  the  biology  building.  In  all,  eleven  class-  and  re- 


Psychology 


19 


search-rooms  are  available.  One  of  the  largest  of  the  rooms 
has  been  set  aside  for  dark-room  work,  and  is  equipped 
with  modern  photometric  apparatus.  The  shop  is  located 
in  the  physics  building  and  is  occupied  jointly  by  physics 
and  psychology.  A small  yard  for  housing  the  larger  mam- 
mals is  located  in  the  rear  of  the  biology  building. 

The  laboratory  is  especially  equipped  for  furthering  in- 
vestigations in  vision;  space-,  rhythm-  and  time-perception; 
memory  and  association;  and  in  reaction-time.  A complete 
equipment  of  very  fine  compound  lenses,  prisms,  Rowland 
gratings,  spectrophotometers,  automatic  arcs  and  heliostats 
makes  it  possible,  for  the  first  time,  it  is  believed,  for  Ameri- 
can students  in  psychology  to  study  the  main  phenomena  of 
color  vision  with  spectral  light.  An  apparatus  for  measuring 
the  energy  of  all  monochromatic  light  stimuli  has  recently 
been  installed.  This  consists  of  a standardized  selenium 
cell  (J.  W.  Giltay,  Delft,  Holland)  of  high  sensibility;  a 
Leeds  and  Northrup  galvanometer;  three  10,000-ohm  resis- 
tance boxes,  and  a 2 5- volt  storage  battery.  With  this  device, 
the  energy  of  light  stimuli  may  be  measured  and  reproduced 
with  great  ease  and  accuracy.  A large  pendulum  exposure 
apparatus  recently  devised  by  Dr.  Dunlap  has  been  built  for 
use  in  reaction-,  rhythm-  and  memory-work. 

The  equipment  of  standard  pieces,  while  not  large,  has 
been  carefully  selected.  Mention  may  be  made  of  the  fol- 
lowing pieces  for  the  study  of  audition:  a complete  set  of 
Konig  universal  resonators ; AppumTs  Tonmesser,  and  Stern’s 
Tonvariator;  thirty  tuning  forks  mounted  on  resonance  cases, 
four  electrically  driven  forks,  two  differential  forks ; two 
Zimmerman  adjustable  pipes,  the  Galton  whistle  and  a Whip- 
ple model  air-tank.  Corresponding  apparatus  for  the  study 
of  the  other  senses  and  of  memory  and  association  are 
available. 


20 


Psychology 


The  apparatus  for  the  study  of  animal  behavior  has 
been  carefully  selected,  and  standardized  according  to  the 
recommendations  made  in  the  report  of  Professors  Yerkes 
and  Watson  ( Behavior  Monograph  No.  2,  1911).  The 
laboratory  of  experimental  zoology,  under  the  direction  of 
Professor  Jennings,  is  well  equipped  for  the  study  of  the 
behavior  of  lower  organisms.  Taking  the  two  laboratories 
together,  equipment  is  at  hand  for  the  study  of  the  behavior 
of  both  vertebrates  and  invertebrates. 

The  establishment  of  the  Phipps  psychiatric  clinic,  under 
the  direction  of  Dr.  Adolf  Meyer,  affords  the  psychological 
students  at  Hopkins  unique  opportunity  for  clinical  instruc- 
tion in  psychopathology,  for  the  first-hand  study  of  cases,  and 
for  research.  The  buildings  for  the  psychiatric  clinic  are 
now  in  process  of  construction.  The  clinic  will  probably  be 
ready  for  the  admission  of  patients  and  for  the  instruction 
of  students  in  the  spring  of  1912. 


III.  Courses 

A.  The  following  graduate  courses  are  announced  for 
1911-1912: 

7.  Introduction  to  Experimental  Psychology. 

The  course  deals  in  the  first  and  second  trimesters  largely 
with  auditory  and  visual  sensation ; and  in  the  third  trimester 
with  memory  and  association.  It  is  designed  to  give  the 
student  opportunity  to  gather  first-hand  acquaintance  with 
experimental  problems  and  technique,  and  to  orient  himself 
in  the  literature  on  sensation,  memory  and  association. 

Lectures  and  laboratory  exercises,  six  hours  a week.  Dr.  Dunlap. 


Psychology 


21 


8.  Experimental  Psychology  ( Research  Course). 

Several  of  the  classical  experiments  in  psychology  are 
repeated,  and  advanced  laboratory  technique  is  introduced. 
The  subject  of  experimentation  depends  somewhat  on  the 
individual  interests  of  the  members  of  the  class.  As  the 
work  advances,  special  problems  are  undertaken.  It  is  in 
this  course  that  the  student  usually  finds  the  subject  for  his 
dissertation. 

Lectures  at  indeterminate  intervals;  laboratory  work  daily  through 
the  year.  Professor  Watson  and  Dr.  Dunlap. 

9.  Introduction  to  Comparative  Psychology. 

The  experiments  in  this  course  are  designed  to  show  the 
animal’s  method  of  solving  problems  (habit-formation,  imi- 
tation, etc.)  and  the  use  it  makes  of  its  senses  (discrimi- 
nation). The  lectures  are  devoted  to  a discussion  of  the 
literature  on  the  behavior  of  the  higher  vertebrates. 

Lectures  two  hours  weekly  through  the  year;  laboratory  work 
about  twelve  hours  weekly.  Professor  Watson. 

10.  Comparative  Psychology  (Research  Course). 

A purely  laboratory  course.  Special  research  problems 
are  assigned  early  in  the  year. 

Conference  two  hours  a week  through  the  year.  Professor 
Watson. 

11.  Advanced  General  Psychology. 

Selected  chapters  in  James’s  Principles  of  Psychology  are 
first  examined.  Titchener’s  two  books,  The  Experimental 
Psychology  of  the  Thought-processes , and  Feeling  and  At- 
tention, are  read  and  discussed.  The  attempt  is  made  to 
contrast  the  various  theoretical  standpoints  of  the  different 
investigators  in  psychology. 

Two  hours  a week  through  the  year  Professor  Watson. 


22

mental organic  processes  as  metabolism,  growth,  movement, 
response  to  stimuli,  behavior.  The  work  will  be  confined 
chiefly  to  the  invertebrates.  The  second-half -year  will  prob- 
ably be  devoted  mainly  to  animal  behavior.  Special  problems 
in  this  or  related  lines  may  be  taken  up  for  investigation  by 
the  student. 

Three  lectures  or  conferences  and  two  laboratory  periods  weekly 
through  the  year.  Associate  Professor  Mast.

EDUCATION 


The  graduate  work  in  education  is  designed  to  meet  the 
needs  of  those  students  who  are  preparing  to  give  instruction 
in  the  history,  principles  and  practice  of  education  in  colleges 
and  normal  schools,  as  well  as  the  needs  of  those  who  are 
planning  to  enter  upon  the  various  forms  of  school  super- 
vision. It  also  seeks  to  meet  the  needs  of  those  students  in 
the  University  who,  while  specializing  in  the  subjects  they 
intend  to  teach,  wish  to  have  an  acquaintance  with  the 
principles  underlying  all  educational  activity. 

The  work  offered  in  education  is  closely  related  to  that 
given  in  psychology  and  philosophy.  A thorough  knowledge 
of  the  history  of  educational  theory  is  required  for  the  more 
critical  and  constructive  effort  undertaken  in  the  philosophy  of 
education.  The  general  principles  of  psychology  are  given 
an  application  to  education  and  teaching.  The  psychol- 
ogical laboratory  is  open  to  those  whose  training  enables 
them  to  carry  out  investigations  on  special  topics  in  mental 
development  under  school  conditions.  The  program  of  sub- 
jects and  courses  for  the  individual  student,  however,  is 
determined  chiefly  in  the  light  of  his  special  interests. 

Courses 

A.  The  following  Courses  are  announced  for  1911-12: 

13.  Seminary. 

The  work  of  the  year  will  be  a study  of  the  history  and

GENERAL  INFORMATION 


Graduate  Conference 

Meetings  are  held  as  occasion  may  arise,  especially  towards 
the  close  of  the  academic  year,  for  the  presentation  of  the 
results  of  the  work  of  members  of  the  department,  for 
hearing  papers  by  visitors  or  others  not  connected  with  the 
department,  and  for  the  informal  discussion  of  important 
recent  publications. 


Libraries 

The  University  Library  numbers  approximately  one 
hundred  and  fifty  thousand  bound  volumes.  The  books 
relating  to  philosophy,  psychology  and  education  are,  for  the 
most  part,  placed  in  the  Department  Seminary  Room.  The 
department  library  is  supplied  with  files  and  current  numbers 
of  the  principal  philosophical  and  educational  periodicals  and 
virtually  all  the  psychological  periodicals  in  English,  French 
and  German,  and  with  the  most  essential  works  in  philosophy, 
education  and  human  and  animal  psychology.  The  Peabody 
Library,  numbering  over  one  hundred  and  seventy  thousand 
volumes,  is  in  convenient  proximity  to  the  University  build- 
ings, and  is  a valuable  supplement  to  the  library  resources 
of  the  University.  The  Enoch  Pratt  Free  Library,  numbering 
upwards  of  two  hundred  and  seventy  thousand  volumes,  is 
also  available  to  students.  The  library  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment and  that  of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty  of 
Maryland  contain,  besides  all  important  recent  publications 
in  the  entire  field  of  medicine,  much  rare  and  valuable

FELLOWSHIPS  AND  SCHOLARSHIPS 


Fellowships  by  Courtesy 

The  Academic  Council  may,  at  their  discretion,  by 
special  vote,  enroll  as  Fellows  by  Courtesy — 

(а)  Gentlemen  who  are,  or  who  have  been,  teachers  in 
colleges  and  other  like  institutions,  and  who  wish,  for 
brief  periods,  to  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunities  here 
afforded  for  study  and  for  the  use  of  books  and  labora- 
tories. 

(б)  Holders  of  fellowships  in  other  colleges,  during  their 
residence  here. 

(c)  Those  who  have  been  fellows  of  this  university  and

University  Fellowships 

Twenty  fellowships,  each  yielding  five  hundred  dollars 
but  not  exempting  the  holder  from  the  charges  for  tuition, 
are  annually  awarded.  Ho  specified  number  of  these  is  per- 
manently assigned  to  any  one  department.  The  system  of 
fellowships  was  instituted  for  the  purpose  of  affording  to 
young  men  of  talent  from  any  place  an  opportunity  of  con- 
tinuing their  studies  in  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  in 
any  subjects  while  looking  forward  to  positions  as  professors, 
teachers,  and  investigators,  or  to  other  literary  and  scientific 
vocations.  The  fellowships  are  given  to  young  men  who  wish

to  follow  systematically  through  the  year  the  instruction 
of  the  teachers  here  engaged,  and  those  who  are  appointed 
are  expected  to  proceed  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philo- 
sophy. The  appointments  are  made  not  merely  in  recognition 
of  good  work  already  done,  but  as  aids  and  incentives  to  good 
work  in  the  future;  in  other  words,  the  fellowships  are  not 
so  much  honors  and  prizes  bestowed  for  past  achievements, 
as  helps  to  further  progress  and  stepp ing^stones  to  intellectual 
careers.  The  fellowships  are  intended  particularly  for  young 
men  desirous  of  becoming  teachers  of  science  or  literature, 
or  of  devoting  their  lives  to  special  branches  of  learning  which 
lie  outside  of  the  ordinary  studies  of  the  lawyer,  the  physician, 
and  the  minister. 

Each  candidate  is  expected  to  submit  his  college  diploma 
or  other  certificate  of  proficiency  from  the  institution  where 
he  has  been  taught,  with  recommendations  from  those  who 
are  qualified  to  speak  of  his  character  and  attainments.  He 
must  also  submit  orally  or  in  writing  evidence  of  his  past 
success  in  study  and  of  his  plans  for  the  future,  together 
with  examples  of  his  literary  or  scientific  work.  Testi- 
monials from  former  instructors  unaccompanied  by  such 
examples  of  the  applicant’s  own  work  will  as  a rule  not  be 
regarded  as  affording  adequate  evidence  concerning  the  appli- 
cant’s relative  eligibility  for  appointment  to  a fellowship. 
The  examination  is  in  a certain  sense  competitive,  but  not 
with  uniform  tests,  nor  by  formal  questions  submitted  to 
the  candidates.  First,  the  head  of  a given  department  con- 
siders, with  such  counsel  as  he  may  command,  the  applicant’s 
record.  The  professors  then  collectively  deliberate  on  the 
nominations  made  by  individual  members  of  their  body.  The 
list  upon  which  they  agree,  with  the  reasons  for  it,  is  finally 
submitted  by  the  President  of  the  University  to  the  Executive

Fellowships  and  Scholarships 


Committee,  and  by  them  to  the  Trustees  for  final  registration 
and  appointment. 

The  applicants  are  notified  of  the  result  by  means  of  a 
printed  list  of  the  successful  candidates. 

The  absence  of  candidates  from  Baltimore  has  been  no 
bar  to  their  appointment,  in  cases  where  adequate  evidence 
of  their  claims  has  been  presented;  but  it  is  obvious  from 
the  nature  of  the  case,  that  graduate  students  residing  in 
Baltimore  must  have  better  opportunities  than  others  of 
making  their  powers  known  to  the  appointing  board,  and 
during  the  last  few  years  the  number  of  persons  appointed, 
who  had  not  previously  been  resident  here,  has  been  very 
small. 

Regulations 

1.  The  application  must  be  made  prior  to  May  1,  in  writing, 
addressed  to  the  President  of  the  University,  and  he  will  refer 
the  papers  to  the  Academic  Council,  by  whom  the  nominations 
will  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  at  their  meeting  in  June. 
There  is  no  prescribed  form  of  application. 

2.  The  candidate  must  give  evidence  of  a liberal  education, 
such  as  the  diploma  of  a college  of  good  repute;  of  decided  pro- 
clivity towards  a special  line  of  study,  such  as  an  example  of  some 
scientific  or  literary  work  already  performed;  and  of  upright 
character,  such  as  a testimonial  from  some  instructor. 

3.  The  value  of  each  fellowship  is  five  hundred  dollars.  The 
holder  is  not  exempt  from  the  charges  for  tuition.  In  case  of 
resignation,  promotion,  or  removal  from  the  fellowship,  payments 
will  be  made  for  the  time  during  which  the  office  shall  have  been 
actually  held. 


The  Johnston  Scholarships

Scholarship,  were  founded  by  Mrs.  Harriet  Lane  Johnston, 
of  Washington,  formerly  of  Baltimore,  in  memory  of  her 
husband  and  her  two  sons.  They  are  awarded  annually  by 
the  Trustees  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Academic  Council. 
The  stipend  of  each  scholarship  is  the  income  of  thirty 
thousand  dollars.  They  are  offered  primarily  to  young  men 
who  have  given  evidence  of  the  power  of  independent  research 
in  any  branch  of  learning.  The  holders  of  the  scholarships 
will  be  expected  to  devote  themselves  to  study  and  research 
in  their  chosen  subjects,  though  they  may  be  required  to  do 
some  teaching.  Each  one  will  be  designated  as  the  “ Holder 
of  the  Johnston  Scholarship.” 

Regulations 

Candidates  for  the  Johnston  Scholarships  must  make  applica- 
tion, in  writing,  to  the  President  of  the  University  before  the 
first  of  April.  The  applications  must  be  accompanied  by  such 
evidence  of  the  candidates’  fitness  as  they  may  be  able  to  pre- 
sent. The  President  will  refer  the  papers  to  the  Academic  Council, 
by  whom  the  nominations  will  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 
at  their  meeting  in  May. 

Holders  of  the  scholarships  may  not  engage  in  teaching  else- 
where. 

The  scholars  will  be  appointed  for  one  year;  but,  if  their  work 
should  prove  satisfactory,  they  will  generally  be  reappointed. 


University  Scholarships 

For  the  encouragement  of  scholarship  among  those  who 
have  taken  the  baccalaureate  degree  and  wish  to  continue 
their  studies  here,  a number  of  University  Scholarships  are 
annually  bestowed,  as  stated  below: 

1.  Fifteen  scholarships  are  open  about  the  first  of  Janu- 


34 


Fellowships  and  Scholarships 


ary  to  graduates  of  this  or  of  other  institutions,  who  have 
been  studying  here  during  the  previous  part  of  the  session. 
Those  who  wish  to  be  candidates  must  make  formal  appli- 
cation to  the  President,  about  the  middle  of  December,  stating 
where  they  have  been  previously  trained  and  what  studies 
they  have  pursued  in  this  university.  He  will  appoint  a 
committee  of  five  to  consider  the  applications,  and,  with  the 
aid  of  such  evidence  as  may  be  obtained,  to  make  nominations 
to  the  Board  of  University  Studies. 

2.  These  scholarships  entitle  the  holders  to  free  tuition 
and  are  tenable  for  one  year.  They  do  not  carry  exemption 
from  laboratory  fees. 

3.  They  are  awarded  as  honors,  and  those  who  are  dis- 
posed, for  the  benefit  of  others  or  for  any  other  reason, 
to  waive  the  pecuniary  emolument,  or  who  are  desirous  of 
studying  elsewhere,  may  do  so  and  still  have  their  names 
retained  on  the  honor  list.  Those  who  receive  the  emolument 
will  be  expected  to  pursue  their  studies  exclusively  in  this 
university. 

4.  The  Board  will  reserve  appointments,  if  worthy  candi- 
dates do  not  offer. 


Hopkins  Scholarships 

In  the  will  of  the  founder  of  this  university,  the  Trustees 
are  requested  to  “ establish,  from  time  to  time,  such  number 
of  free  scholarships  in  said  university  as  may  be  judicious, 
and  to  distribute  the  said  scholarships  among  such  candidates 
from  the  States  of  Maryland,  Virginia,  and  North  Carolina, 
as  may  be  most  deserving  of  choice,  because  of  their  character 
and  intellectual  promise,  and  to  educate  the  young  men  so 
chosen  free  of  charge.”  Forty-six  such  scholarships  have
